EMU 1212 Microphone with Skype?

Hello my dear readers,
I want to use a microphone with my emu1212 audio interface, that is connected via an audio mixer. the signal reaches the interface properly and can be recorded with reaper with "send to asio", but i also want to use it in skype. windows and skype only offer "wave" as recording source. if i insert "send to wave" in the microphone input channel, nothing happens. i tried to do this step by step tutorial, but this did not work either. The recording source "wave" offered by windows seems to be dead, there is no amplitude at any time.
i hope you can help me.
kind regards.
edit: here are pictures of my settings. "I/O card in" is the connection to the microphone, which does have an amplitude as you see in the picture.

When testing the microphone with Skype, the pla back sounds garbled.

Problem with microphone testing Skype. When testing the sound and play back it sounds garbled.

Hello,
Thanks for your post!
What computer model do you have? Are you using the internal MIC or any external one? Have you checked the volume of that mic and try to decrease it? Also low down the volume from your speakers or from your default playback device.
What operating system do you have?
Please provide this additional information to understand more your setup and if the cause of it is settings related.
By the way, did it worked before? If its the first time, you can also try to update the sound driver or even remove it from device manager and having the device detected again, maybe in that way it will resolve the problem.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

Using a studio microphone with skype

Hey! So i've recently bought a Samson Meteor USB Studio microphone for recording and such. It sounds flawless in programs like audacity. I tried to use it in skype while playing some video games with friends and the sound quality dropped so much, even my $50 gaming headset's mic sounds better. Anyone know why that is? Is a microphone like this not meant to be used with VOIP programs? My friends complain that they can barely hear me or that i sound depressed lmao, and keep making fun of how bad the quality is. I'd rather use my new studio mic, not my gaming headsets mic though, any thoughts? Thanks!

I don't know I've seen plenty of headsets more expensive than that Mic. One thing I've learned with Skype is the more bells and whistles a device has, the more problematic it can be with Skype. I also would suggest initially not doing other things when testing out the mic to narrow down if the issue is mic settings, Internet or USB bandwidth related. If the USB mic has any hardware modes or virtual software modes/enhanced settings (EQ, Noise cancellation, etc.), I would suggest disabling them as they can distort or limit audio levels in Skype when other apps are seemingly unaffected. If you are connecting the device through a hub, try directly to a USB port on your computer.

Using blue yeti microphone with skype question

Hi,
I just bought a blue yeti mic to use with skype. The other person can hear me fine
but I cant hear him. All tests checked out fine on both ends. Then I saw the headphone jack on the bottom of the yeti mic. Question: do I have to have headphones on and plugged into the yeti headphone jack in order to hear someone, or is there a way to use the yeti and hear the other party without using headphones?
Thanks for any replies!

I briefly googled your issue and came up with this: http://the-gadgeteer.com/2010/08/11/blue_yeti_mic/
It may be worth a read, as it sounds like you may need headphones unless you're willing to mess around with your computer's audio functions.

Satellite A100: Vista does not pick up microphone with Skype

People I call on Skype cannot hear me, although I can hear them. Vista does not appear to be picking up microphone. Help appreciated.

I have installed Vista on older Satellite M70 and also Skype. Use cable connected external headset and everything works fine. I do not know what the problem in your case is but check all Skype Sound devices options.

Microphone not working with Skype

Hi,
I've just got a new Intel Core Duo Mac mini and want to run the latest edition of skype. Everything works except the microphone. I tested it using Skype's echo123 which allows you to leave a message for 10 seconds and then plays back with silence. Hmmm.
I have not tried or installed any other programs and I can see in the settings that the microphone should be used. Its not my microphone because it works on my Windows laptop.
Anyone had any luck?
Intel Core Duo Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1.66Ghz 512Mb 80GbHD

Hello,
Macintosh computers require an "Amplified" microphone.
These are rare items in your local stores which cater to the PC majority.
An amplified Microphone will have a battery in it (like a AAA or AA battery).
PC's have a separate Microphone and Audio Input line.
Mac's just have an Audio Input line.
With an Audio Input line, you must have a "Line-Level" audio signal. This is the level of audio typically sent through a Stereo component's CD-Player or Tape Deck (such as when connecting an external CD-Player to a component stereo with RCA cables). This would be the audio level present on the RCA cables.
If you are using a Microphone which is not amplified, then you need a pre-amplifier to sit between the Microphone and your audio input line.
Given the cost and additional wiring mess of a pre-amplifier, it is generally better to just purchase an amplified microphone. They are available if you look.
I used to sell them back when I had a computer business, I think I sold them around $15 to $20 compared to $5 or $10 for an unamplified microphone.
The reason that you can use your other microphone with a PC is that the PC amplifies it's Microphone port.
If you are handy with electronics, here's a document on how to build your own pre-amp circuit:
http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/micamp.html
If you are not up to the task of building a pre-amp for your microphone, then I would either purchase an Amplified Microphone (with a battery), or buy a pre-amplifier (usually around $50 to $70 for a low-end pre-amp).
Keep in mind that not all so-called "Amplified Microphones" are really self-powered and pre-amplified. Make sure it has it's own battery if there is any chance it is going to be able to work with your Mac. It needs to amplify it's own signal prior to sending it to the Macintosh for it to work for you.
One external solution around $120 is this simple and compact pre-amp:
http://www.microphones.com/microphonegroup.cfm?URLID=Preamp-Series
I've used other solutions that were only around $60, but they take-up my whole desk. So, I guess there is a price for convenience.
A self-powered microphone would be the most elegant solution though.
Here's a cheap ($50) solution for a self-powered microphone:
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=24501
There are also headphone-mounted solutions available as well.
There are also some USB solutions that people have been using for Mac's without Audio-in ports.
The USB solutions are essentially a Microphone port that plugs into your USB port. They are reportedly pretty good. But, some people have reported a delay in their recordings (particularly with music recording). So, that may or may not be an option for you.
One USB solution is:

My Microphone is not working with skype

The skype recording says to check your settings,I notice my mi was set to "mute" but when I turned it on it still didnt work.

My microphone does not work with Skype...

...but it works with everything else! I have tried every test, every setting, downloaded new drivers, restarted the computer, followed every Skype how-to to check every device setting and nothing works.
I am using a Digital Innovations ChatCam model # 4310300. As I mentioned I have used it with Microsoft Movie Maker and the sound is fine, but with Skype it does not work, I just tried using the echo test call and nothing.
Any help is appreciated!
Kurt

There is always the possibility that there is an oddity in how the camera registers as an audio device or something is missing from the drivers being used that generates a compatibility issue with Skype. Have you tried using a virtual driver to try to resolve the issue? Try using Manycam ( http://manycam.com ). If the camera part works, you don't have to use the virtual cam part, but you might want to try the virtual microphone is has and associated that with your webcam mic. This way you can see if the manycam virtual mic will allow the audio to be registered in Skype.

My iphone 4 microphone won't record sound on video clips and doesn't work with Skype

This is the first time I have used the forum. My iphone4 microphone won't record sound on video clips, and won't work with Skype.

I have checked that I have the latest software. I have restarted phone. I am not sure how to perform the other things you mentioned , restore and reset as new... Would I lose any data by doing these? Thanks for the reply.

Microphone volume too quiet only with skype

My microphone volume is extremely quiet during calls. This is not a problem with my headset since it works perfectly fine with any other communication or recording software. I have my microphone volume and boost set to max in the recording setting and I unchecked the automatically adjust microphone option in skype's audio settings. I've also tried re-installing my sound card driver but that did not solve the problem as well. I think my microphone stopped working with skype after version 7.0. I used to just simply use a much older version of skype (version 6.5) until recently Skype decides to retire all the older versions. So now I am stuck with a skype that no longer works.An interesting thing to note is that if I uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the microphone properties setting and then restart skype, my mic will be at normal volume for about a minute, then it will be extremely low again. If I restart skype again, the mic will work perfectly fine for a minute again. (I am not entirely sure why and I am not sure it works in a real call becuase I only tested this with the ecco/sound test service).Please Help!

Someone has posted this http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Help-Windows-10-Microphone-not-working/m-p/4076999#M361092 Please let us know if this fixed the microphone for you

How to turn on microphone on iPhone 6 for Skype calls. I see a picture of a microphone with a red line drawn through it. Thanks.

ow does one turn on the microphone for Skype calls on a iPhone 6 ? I can see (video) the person with the iPhone 6 and they can see and hear me but they cannot speak as their iPhone 6 shows a symbol that says "microphone" with a line drawn through it. Please help. Thank You.

According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

Pavillion X2 microphone issue with Skype

Hi - I have jusr purchased the Pavillion 2 net book / tablet. We tried to use Skype today and the voice recognition was very poor and muffled. We adjusted the microphone in skype from Auto to manual but this did not assist and put back on to auto. I could not be heard by the other person so we gave up. Please can you suggest a fix. Thanks.

I have same problem. Any fix?

Trouble with Skype. can't hear caller but I can see caller.

Trouble with Skype. Caller cannot hear me but I can hear caller. Cannot hear voice on test call. Can see caller. MIcrophone is on and volume turned up.

Michele,
I do not have Mavericks running on my older MacBook Pro. During the call, do you have the microphone icon on the Skype window enabled or disabled? Have done that before.
My Skype preferences:
Microphone: Built-in Microphone (Internal microphone)
* Automatically adjust microphone settings is set
Ringing and Speakers: Built-in Output (Internal Speakers)
Camera: Built-in iSight.
System Preferences > Sound
Input tab: Internal Microphone
Output tab: Internal Speakers

Podcasting with skype,ichat and garage band at the same time

Hi,
so here is my problem I have a podcast show and I record one of my hosts through i chat into garage band and the other is a phone guest through skype.....everything is going through an alesis mixer...the problem is my i chat host cannot hear the skype phone guest....what should I do??

Microphone into mixer. Output of computer into mixer. Skype and iChat routed to computer output. Skype, iChat and Garageband inputs all set to mixer output (either analogue output plugged into computer line in or using the USB connection). Turn monitoring in GB off.
Now everyone should be able to hear everyone, but the Skype and iChat contributors will also hear themselves coming back with a delay, which makes it very difficult to talk.
There is a way round this, but it involves having two separate audio-USB interfaces (which shouldn't be the same model) - they need to be able to handle both ways at the same time, and many don't. I assume that your Alesis is much the same as mine.
Microphone to mixer. Skype output and input to interface A. iChat output and input to interface B. Set GarageBand input to mixer main output as above.
Microphone channel : turn up sends to Aux A and B
Skype channel: turn up send to Aux B only
iChat channel: turn up send to Aux A only
Plug Aux A output to interface A
Plug Aux B output to interface B
You have now set up what is called 'clean feed' in the UK ('mix minus' in the USA). Skype should receive the microphone and iChat but not itself, iChat should receive the microphone and Skype but not itself. Everything should be heard by Garageband.
You may find some difficulty in getting this to work. The main sticking point is going to be that the interfaces have to work in both directions at the same time, and as I said, many don't.
Skype will handle conference calls and this would be a simpler solution!

USB microphone with Mac mini - can it work?

I recently bought a cheap USB camera with built-in mic, and a USB headphone/microphone interface. Neither of these microphones work with my shiny new Mac mini (10.7.2). The headphone USB interface works fine, and it even includes a volume and mute - very cool indeed (Arvel HAMU02BK if you want to look it up). In the Sound Preference pane, it shows up as an input, but the meter doesn't show any response. I plug the same mic and adaptor into a G4 PowerBook (10.5.8) and it works. The camera (Buffalo BSW13K08HBK) also shows up as a mic in the Sound Preference pane, but the meter fails to respond (shows about a 60% continuous input signal, but using it with Skype test, doesn't record anything.

Camera itself seems to work nicely, though, and there seems to be enough power off the hub to make things work. Is this a bug? If I want to plug a mic into the Mac itself, can I use any of the "pink" 3-pole 3.5mm computer mics?

Followup - I'm getting:
kernel: 0        0 AppleUSBCDC: start - initDevice failed
on the Console every time one of these beasts gets connected. What to do about this?
